It was a beautiful day in Toulouse. The wind had stopped, the sun was shining and it was warm. Because of this the city came alive with people out enjoying the Saturday, shopping, picnicking by the river, ambling as only the French can do. I joined the crowds in enjoying the city and the weather.… Read More The weather has turned nice again
The day started out as normal. I got up and had breakfast. I, then, had to do some shopping. I needed some things for lunch and breakfast. I walked over to the Victor Hugo market to get what I needed. On the walk over I noticed, that Friday morning seems to be the day when… Read More A surprising day
I did some cleaning of the apartment in the morning. Figured it need to keep to a good cleaning routine as all the floors are white tile and any little bit of dirt I bring in on my shoes shows up. It is very different than the wood floors and rugs of my house but… Read More Backed to normal routine
The post will not be long today as I had a relaxed day. The main reason for the relaxed day was the wind. This is the second time since I have been back in Toulouse where there was strong and sustained winds. I was interested on why there were these day long windy events –… Read More Relaxed Day
When I was leaving Toulouse last fall, the Aeroport bus went by what looked like an outdoor farmers market. I have never seen the market before that day. Last week, I had intended to go and search for the market. I got involved in other things and did not look for the market. Today, I… Read More Exploring and widening boundaries

Also, since there is no dryer and everything has to air dry, I have… Read More Monday’s are life maintenance days, plus some fun
I have always hated to be routine and fall into a pattern but Sundays definitely have become both of those. St. Aubin’s farmers market is Sunday morning and closes at 12:30 pm so I have to go earlier in the morning since I go to Church at 12:00 pm. I love the market as it… Read More Sundays are always busy
I decided that I would enjoy the day in Toulouse by doing the things I really enjoy while here. I got up and walked down to the local cafe to have breakfast. I learned one lesson in this as I went at 10:00 am and on Saturday all the chocolate croissants are gone by that… Read More Birthday in Toulouse
I am going to a concert on Friday night at the Halle aux grain Friday night and needed to figure out how long it takes to walk from the apartment from the apartment to the concert hall. I looked the concert hall on Google maps and it gave the directions but I do not have… Read More Making progress
When I was in Toulouse in the autumn, I would do my long runs on the Canal du Midi. It was a great place for long runs as it has a long distance to run, it is flat, there is nice scenery to view and things to see. Once you get out of the main… Read More Another day of exploring based on where I am living now
